Three days later, the old man found the Red Stone Flower Tavern, and the round-faced man introduced the old man to his boss. The leader hoped that the old man could become his subordinate, so that he would have a reliable contact point in the port city of Corpicius in the future.
However, the old man shook his head and refused. He said that he was already old and did not want to get involved in the affairs of the special department anymore. This time he was just helping.
"The woman you are looking for has been found." The old man said: "She took a little black dog with her. She left the Lipton liner seventeen days ago, that is, around ten o'clock in the morning on March 11th.
After coming down and staying in the city until the afternoon, I went to Red-Nosed Cowbotton's carriage house to hire a long-distance carriage. The destination was the town of Ancano. That was the railway station of the Tiersim municipality. Take the train to other places.
The directly-governed territory, oh, it is now called other states and everyone has to go there to buy tickets..."
"Railway? What is that..." A big man interrupted curiously and asked.
"How should I put this?" The old man thought for a moment before replying: "It means two railway tracks are laid on the road, and then a dozen carriages are pulled by the locomotive to drive on the railway tracks, day and night, which can effectively shorten the journey.
For example, from here to Lanhu City, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Amphiston, it would take at least ten days or even half a month to travel by carriage, but now it only takes three days to take the train. In addition, transporting goods is also very convenient and fast, one day
The carriages can carry as much cargo as twenty or thirty four-wheel transport carriages, and are very popular among merchants..."
A newspaper was smashed into the face of the big man who was asking the question. This was done by the big man called the leader. The front page of the newspaper he smashed over had a picture of a train printed on it, but the date was from the end of last year. The above
The title is written to celebrate the completion of the Nansizhou Railway Line and its official entry into operation. The following news introduces in detail the functions of railways and trains, as well as the changes and developments in passenger transportation, logistics and freight...
"Watch the news for yourself, don't just look for women." The leading man scolded, then turned to the old man: "You said that woman stayed in the city until the afternoon, do you know where she went and who she was looking for?
clear?"
The old man nodded and replied: "The woman left the customs building with her puppy and took a taxi to the commercial street in Dongcheng. She saw Rist Bookstore and stayed there for an hour. She mainly bought maps of overseas dominions and some
I bought two travel notes. I talked with the bookstore owner for more than ten minutes. He claimed to be a pharmacist and went to the overseas jurisdiction to buy some rare medicinal materials.
After coming out of the bookstore, she went to Mills Restaurant, a large teppanyaki beef restaurant recommended by the bookstore owner, and had lunch there. Because it happened to be the rainy season, the restaurant owner Mills' father's rheumatism broke out again, and the woman became pregnant.
On her hand, she used an ointment she made for Father Mills, which effectively relieved Father Mills’s rheumatism pain. Father Mills used eight gold crowns to buy all the ointment that the woman carried with her.
Bought it.
Later, after the woman left, someone asked Dad Mills if that ointment was really effective. Dad Mills pointed to his knee and said that after applying the ointment, he felt very cool and comfortable, and he no longer felt that kind of ointment.
There is pain in his bones like ants biting him, and his knees are no longer swollen, which means that he no longer has to be afraid of humid weather, nor does he have to sit in a wheelchair in pain.
In the past half month, many people suffering from rheumatism have gone to see Father Mills and wanted to get some ointment from him. The price was as high as one gold crown per piece. The woman originally sold it to Father Mills.
The large bottle of ointment can hold at least thirty pieces. Everyone said that Father Mills made a lot of money. However, Father Mills did not sell much. He took the ointment very seriously and would not sell it easily, just like
His own life is the same.
After the woman left the restaurant, she went to the Golden Rose Hotel in the city center, asked for a room, took a shower, then checked out, went to Red-Nosed Cowbotton's carriage house, and hired a car to go to Ancano.
She took a long-distance carriage from the town, bought some food and drinks, took her puppy on the carriage and set off overnight, leaving here..."
"No, that woman has been away from this city for more than half a month, and you can still describe her whereabouts in the city so clearly. Are you not making it up to deceive us?" The round-faced man next to him stared suspiciously.
Old man. This is indeed very suspicious. The woman only stayed in the city for half a day. Except for treating rheumatism at the restaurant, which attracted more attention, the rest of her behavior was the same as that of people who had just arrived in this city. How could the old man know so well?
Describing all her itineraries in the city. You must know that half a month has passed, and many people have long forgotten whether they saw this woman that day.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do..." The old man spread his hands: "Actually, you are very lucky. This woman was already profiled when she got off the passenger ship. A single female passenger like this
, it is easy to become the target of those three hands hanging around in the dock area. There was a fight between the Rubi Brotherhood in the dock area of Porto Corpicus and the Mafia of Huakas in order to compete for the right to attack this woman.
It's a pity that Waqas, who won the fight, sent people to follow the woman for most of the day, but never found an opportunity to strike. He watched helplessly as the woman got on the long-distance carriage and left. So most of Waqas's Mafia Alliance
Yue has become a big joke in the eyes of the three hands in the dock area, saying that they let go of a big fat sheep like this.
The whereabouts of the woman I just told you about in the city were obtained from the Mafia. They followed the woman for most of the day and knew where the woman had gone and what she had done. In addition, they also provided information about that
The dog brought by the woman was very weird and intelligent, and her several chances to make a move were ruined by that puppy."
"Since the Mafia didn't find an opportunity to steal, why didn't they just go and rob it?" asked the big man who was hit in the face by the newspaper.
The old man wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He shook his head and said to the big men in the room: "You have been here for three days, haven't you noticed that this place is very different from the colonies of other countries? Even in the kingdom itself,
I also guarantee that you will not find a place that pays more attention to public security and order than here. People who are involved in gangs here need to be smart and skilled. Road robbery like the one you just mentioned is seeking death. If the circumstances are serious, you will be caught.
Just shoot him on the roadside..."
"Is it so strict?" The round-faced man thought for a while and said, "We have just walked around the city casually in the past three days. We feel that the place is very lively, the business atmosphere is good, and it is well-ordered. But when you put it like this, we really don't think so.
We saw a fight taking place in broad daylight. Do you think it would work if we did a murder in this city and pretended it was committed by that woman, and used official power to arrest the woman?"
The old man's face changed greatly: "If you want to die, please don't involve me. I have already told you that this place is different from the colonies of other countries. In the colonies of other countries, you used clues from the murders to induce the local authorities there to help you in the hunt.
That woman, because the local officials of the colonies of other countries wanted to close the case as soon as possible, they followed the clues you left to hunt for that woman. As for whether the woman was innocent or not, they didn't care at all.
Unlike colonies in other countries, criminal cases here are handled by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Patrol Headquarters. Everyone there is a veteran in solving cases. Even if you leave clues, it will be of no use. Instead, you will only send yourself to their trap.
It’s very simple. They only need to check the woman’s travel record to find out that the woman is not the real murderer. They can use this woman or pretend to be this woman to lure you into the bait and then catch them all..."
"It's so mysterious..." The big man at the head also didn't believe it.
"I can't help you if you don't believe me." The old man sighed: "The overseas autonomous territories are completely different from the colonies of those countries on the west coast. The current development is even faster than that of the kingdom itself. At least there is no railway train like this in the Farea continent.
You are a monster. Even though you have gathered at the Red Stone Flower Tavern in the past three days, I can guarantee that your whereabouts and every move will fall into the eyes of someone who is interested, but you just don’t know it.
You are here as smugglers, so the monitoring of you is very relaxed. This is because countless smugglers from the West Coast flock to the Dominion, purchase goods and sell them to the colonies of various countries on the West Coast. This has a great impact on the economic development of the states in the Dominion.
Help, and that is why the Dominion treats smugglers more favorably. If you are found to be not smugglers, but people from the kingdom’s special department with ulterior motives, I am sure you will find it difficult to move here.”
"Then how can we find the whereabouts of that woman in the Dominion?" The leading man asked anxiously: "She left this city half a month ago. If we get to Ancano Town and get on the train, then we won't even be able to find the whereabouts of that woman."
We don’t even know which jurisdiction she will go to, so how can we find her? In the past, in those colonies on the west coast, we framed murders for her, forcing her to no longer be able to hide under the official search, but to escape and expose her.
His whereabouts..."
"You guys from the special service team are really inferior to each other." The old man sighed: "Do you only use such brutal and bloody methods to find people now? In fact, it is very simple to find the whereabouts of this woman. As she claims to be
Pharmacist, and a very beautiful woman with a puppy will leave a deep impression on people no matter where she goes. As long as she speaks a little bit, she can even make those who have seen her talk about her.
Her whereabouts.
What you have to do is to play the role of a smuggler perfectly, and by the way, ask the station patrol police, ticket sellers, train attendants, sweepers, etc. Exaggerate this woman's talent in pharmaceutical treatment and say you want to find her.
She wanted to buy the miraculous ointment for her father who had been bedridden for many years with severe rheumatism. Your filial piety, the miraculous ointment, and the mysterious female pharmacist can all form a legendary story, and no one will not be happy to go there.
Help you find this woman...
This is just a method on the surface. Secretly, you go to the gangs hanging out at the station and threaten or induce them. I believe they will tell you the whereabouts of this woman soon. There is also the last method, come here like this
Female pharmacists in overseas autonomous territories will be paid attention to by the patrol departments of various places. If you can find a senior figure in the patrol department and have his introduction and help, you can easily grasp the whereabouts of this woman."
After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and left. When he reached the door, he turned to the big men in the room and said: "This is the last time for me to perform my duties for the special department of the kingdom where I have served for most of my life. Even if you haven't yet
I know if I can be considered a member of the special service team. You don’t have to come to me anymore. I have moved and the store has been sold to the owner who rented the house. I plan to officially retire from today and will never be involved in this again.
All the mess is gone."
The old man walked away.
It took a while for the round-faced man to wake up. The old man clearly realized that staying with them would be dangerous, so he just made an excuse to escape. However, he said it so righteously, as if he had suffered a big loss...
..
"This, this old man is so shameless. He has clearly forgotten his responsibilities as a latent agent. The kingdom's special department has regulations. During the mission of the special service team, the latent agents in the mission area must cooperate and help unconditionally.
The SWAT team has completed its mission..." the round-faced man said angrily.
The leading man waved his hand: "Forget it, we don't know if we can still be considered members of the special service team now. The old man was right. We were blinded by hatred before and caused so many murders in the West Coast Colony. Only
We want to force this despicable woman out and use the local government offices in the colony to make it impossible for this woman to hide anymore. Now that we have arrived in this overseas autonomous territory, we must be more careful and cannot act recklessly.
Let’s try the methods the old man said first. Egg, take a group of people to Ancano Town tomorrow to inquire about the whereabouts of the woman. I’ll wait here for two more days, waiting for the last word from Sinos and the others.
The arrival of the group. The old man is right, the twenty or so of us crowding in this big tavern every day are indeed more eye-catching. By the way, Egg, when you go to Ancano Town tomorrow, you will not only inquire about that woman
Wherever you go, you have to pretend to be a smuggler, and ask more about the production prices of goods in various places in the direct jurisdiction, so that it will make people think that you are doing business investigation..."
"Okay, sir, let's book a carriage first, and we'll go to Ancano town tomorrow morning." The round-faced man nodded and replied.
"Boss, in fact, we don't need to sell anything else. We just engage in this cigarette business. I guarantee that we can make a lot of money." A long-faced man took out a pack of Sailor brand cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on the table: "Cigarettes like this
, full of energy, is the favorite of sailors and coachmen in the tavern. Here a pack can be bought for only two sunars. But in the colonies on the west coast, a pack can be sold for one riaso.
, which is equivalent to five times the price..."
The big man at the head directly removed the outer packaging of the cigarette, pulled out one from the torn hole, and took one of the two rough bamboo cigarette holders on both sides of the cigarette box. He inserted the cigarette into the cigarette holder and skillfully lit the match.
He lit the cigarette butt and took a deep breath. The remaining cigarettes were quickly divided among the big men in the other room. The long-faced man finally snatched his cigarette back, only to find that there were only four cigarettes left in the cigarette box.
Already.
The leading man exhaled smoke and said with a stern face: "Silva, don't forget, we are not really here to do smuggling business, we are here to catch and kill the person who has made us suffer.
As a woman who has been shamed all her life, this identity is just a cover for us, understand? After our shame is washed away, if you are still alive, then I have no objection to you coming here and selling these cigarettes to the West Coast colonies. The problem is that you have to have
The relationship obtained a large number of cigarettes from the tobacco production workshop..."
Silva was the long-faced man. He put the empty cigarette box back into his pocket angrily: "I understand, boss."
Facts have proved that the methods provided by the latent spy old man are indeed very effective, and soon the information about the woman with the puppy and claiming to be a pharmacist was continuously collected to the leading man.
"Head, on the afternoon of March 12th, the woman arrived in Ancano town, bought a train ticket on the 15th, and her destination was Prince town in Mormali state, and then stayed in the town.
I stayed at the Qinghe Tavern for three days. During these three days, I either went shopping or stayed in the pub. I got on the train on time on the afternoon of the 15th..."
"The station manager in Prince Town was deeply impressed by this woman because she came down from the box and asked him which mode of transportation to go to Slinkas was more affordable, convenient and safe. The station manager recommended it to him
Her brother-in-law's carriage took this woman to Slinkas, which is the medicinal material production base in the Mormali Direct Territory. On the way, the woman told the station manager's brother-in-law that she was a pharmacist and went there to buy a batch of medicinal materials.
.
Obviously, head, this woman didn't realize that we had tracked the overseas autonomous territory. She now thought that she was safe, so she could leisurely go to some medicinal material base to buy medicinal materials. Then she returned to Pulin on March 24th
She came to Si Town, bringing two carriages filled with medicinal materials. She bought train tickets for the next day, and even went through the freight formalities for the medicinal materials in the two carriages. Her destination was Lanhu City, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Anphiston.
....”
"We will also go to Lanhu City immediately." The big man headed by the leader made a decision: "Since the woman bought two carriages of medicinal materials, she should stay in Lanhu City for a while and get rid of these medicinal materials. I think we can do it soon.
We have found her whereabouts, we must not let her escape from our sight this time..."
